Xenostrobus securis
(Lamarck, 1819) (Mollusca: Bivalvia): first report of an introduced species
in Galician waters
The
presence of the non-indigenous species, the black-pygmy mussel
Xenostrobus securis, is reported here for the first time in an intense
shellfish farming area off Galicia (NW Spain). Very high concentrations of
this mytilid bivalve have colonized estuarine waters located at the inner
part of the Ria de Vigo. The invasive role of X. securis is discussed
in the context of the wide ecological tolerance of the species and the
recent finding of settlements of this species on numerous colonies of the
economically-important blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. The
mode of introduction of the black-pygmy mussel is also discussed in relation
to human management activities.
Posters dimensions: 120 cm height and 90 cm width!!
Publications

abstracts will be published. For the publication of those oral
communications and posters that, in the opinion of the Scientific Committee
and the panel of reviewers, were appropriated the Organising Committee has

Research, and Scientia Marina, all of them within the Science
Citation Index (SCI).
